Gloria in Houston

Hi Bonnie -

Here's the pic of my horoscope shawl. Cotton warp, purple silk weft - although it is not nearly as purple in person! I admit to some trepidation while I was weaving it on the loom - I had many sets of complementary colors, and they were all bright, saturated colors. I thought it might look like a line-up of sports fans in their teams uniforms. But the finished product is great! Everything you said was oh so true - all sets of colors work; pick a weft you like and all will be well. I am very pleased with this!

By the way, I have 10 more cashmere sweaters for you! Do you want me to mail them to you or should I send them directly to Baltimore? Whatever you wish..,.

About Me

In addition to teaching unique workshops and presenting entertaining programs, I spend most of my time designing and creating one-of-a-kind weaving. With a strong focus on color, I explore the boundaries and the unending complexities of plain weave. When not in my weaving studio, I can be found in the kitchen cooking up edible delights, going to NIA classes, or watching movies. I have a BFA in textile design from Rhode Island School of Design and have been weaving since 1960.
